@Andreas: If you configured your tftpd to treat debian-installer subdir 
as root dir for tftpd, then you should move/copy those three files 
yourself: This script currently has configurable TFTP_ROOT but hardcoded 
debian-installer subdir - making that configurable too is independent 
from this bug.
